WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Monday to pause the effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting a Republican campaign that alleges he has been derelict in his duty of in managing the U.S.-Mexico border.
The articles of impeachment, introduced by Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday, contend that Mayorkas, an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, violated his oath of office by failing to constrain the record numbers of migrants arriving at the border.
The House voted to refer the articles back to the House Homeland Security Committee, which is carrying out its own investigation of Mayorkas's alleged dereliction of duty.
The move comes as Congress has less than five days to extend funding or send the U.S. into its fourth partial government shutdown in a decade.
The impeachment comes after months of threats from Republicans, who blame Biden's administration for rolling back harsh restrictions on accepting migrants and asylum seekers put in place under then-President Donald Trump, a Republican.
If the Republican-controlled House impeaches Mayorkas, he will almost definitely be found innocent after a trial in the Senate, which Democrats control by a slim margin.
In response to the initial impeachment motion, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said lawmakers should stop "their reckless impeachment charades and attacks on law enforcement" and instead "deliver desperately needed reforms for our broken immigration system."

Enjoy the uniparty, national bankruptcy and collapse, everyone.
#8. Supporting endless wars, just to make money:
Has always been true of both sides, going back to Henry Kissinger and before that.
#3; Offshoring productive American industries,
#7; Denying people their natural tendency and right to express the love of their country (&/or their God).
#9; Forced ‘diversity’
..are newer offenses, promoted as ‘fair’ through the public school systems.
Impeachment is stupid he’ll never be convicted. /sarc
Well this guy is turning out to be a big disappointment. No wonder everyone wanted him.
So go on record now, right now and state clearly that you think the ‘20 election was legitimate in every way and Biden got 81 million legitimate votes. DO IT NOW.
Waht would a cabinet secretary have to do to “rise to the level” of impeachment?
But the facts of life are conservative. Go away coward traitor.
Unfortunately it seems there are some Republicans in Congress that are only out to destroy the GOP!
“Ignorance is bliss. Biden got 81 millions votes and their was no massive voter fraud. You have no idea if conservatives are not in the majority (just spouting nonsense) until we have free and fair elections. LOL”
The GOP has been wiped out electorally since 2018. Not wanting it to be true is not going to change it.
“But the facts of life are conservative. Go away coward traitor.”
Hahahahaha. You’re funny.
I would really like to hear what kinds of things that we, as Conservatives, need to embrace in order to "change with the times".
Would either of you care to expand on your assertion?
California doesn’t have enough illegals?
Darrell Issa - for some reason I once thought he was a good guy. Obviously not.
I bet they didn’t want the shit impeached and they figured who they thought would be safe to vote against this.
hahahah you’re obdurate.
“...halting a Republican campaign that alleges (Mayorkas) has been derelict in his duty.”
Alleges? Reuters’ reporters have no brains.
My God, the Dems did two bogus impeachments of Trump with NO solid evidence of any wrong doing and they all hung together.
The Rep bastards try to impeach Mayorkas with the longest list of honest impeachable offenses imaginable and have him dead-to-rights on failure to do his sworn duty, but they just cannot bring themselves to do it.
Might there just possibly be a connection to “Feds charge 3 with running high-end brothels allegedly frequented by politicians”?
The pause that refreshes.... reminds me of the old Stay Free Maxi pad slogan. The gauze that refreshes which fits on a pussy which describes Mayorkas.
Well the indys are watching the GOP do nothing. Do nothing wimps will not attract indys.
“You both maintain there was no significant election fraud in the 2020 election, and that losses like the 2020 election are due to the fact that Conservatives can’t change with the times?”
I maintain that the culture and societal norms have changed. Boomers and Gen-X are aging out and dying. The Reagan Revolution was in 1980 and lasted until 2008. It’s over now. Millennials and Gen-Z ascendant. Their values are not ours and there are more of them and their numbers are going to continue to increase while ours continue to decrease.
Anti-abortion positions are losing every time they’re on the ballot. Unions are making a comeback. Student loan forgiveness is going to be one of their major issues.
Same with climate change.
Ignore that if it makes you feel better but the GOP has been getting drubbed since 2018.
Culture war issues are a loser. The GOP had their best run by supporting lower taxes, low unemployment, and smaller goverment.
It’s like Karl Rove still runs the GOP.
State clearly that you think Biden’n tally of 81 million was completely legitimate. DO IT NOW.
